The Parkinson Pottery, or, more correctly, Richard Parkinson Ltd, was
run by Richard and Susan Parkinson from 1952 to 1963 at Brabourne Lees
near Ashford in Kent.

The company specialized in slip-cast figures and animals, and also domestic
wares. Susan, who studied at the Royal College of Art, fashioned the models
which usually featured black decoration on a white body.

After the closure of the company the moulds were bought by George Gray
for Cinque Ports Pottery,
but only certain items from the domestic range were re-used; it is believed
that most of the moulds for the figures and animals were destroyed.
